Emergency Procedure

If you need to report an emergency to us such as injured or escaped livestock or damaged infrastructure please follow this procedure:

  1. Call the office on 01256 381190.
  2. If no one answers, wait for the answering message which will detail the name and mobile number of the member of staff who is currently on call.
  3. Phone the on-call member of staff who will then respond accordingly.

NOTES:

  • Please do not phone a member of staff directly unless you know they are on-call.

  • If you are unsure if a particular situation qualifies as an emergency then please phone the on-call member of staff anyway so that they can make the decision on how to proceed.

  • Most importantly of all – please do not report injuries or sick animals via the blog alone – always call the emergency on-call contact.


    Thank you!

    (belated report from yesterday by a local dog walker). Reported to Fleet Pond by accident.

    Just had a nice chat with a lady from the Fleet Pond team regarding a lady walker her dog witnessing one of the 'cows' (could just be Lola) making very strange and unusual noises? Apparently this person had a farming background.

    We get these reports a lot during this time of year. Its either about the 'lack of food' which I am hoping you guys understand is NOT usually an issue e.g. all of our herds changing diets to woodier vegetation during winter instead of the grass everyone expects them to eat), or 'charging' or disgruntled cattle which make noises.

    I suspect the herd were attracted in one way or another to the person hoping for a snack, especially if said person had a plastic bag on them. They can get quite excitable and will definitely make loud noises, with a bonus skip and a jump. This will all look very out of place to anyone walking. Come April when the grasses start to grow again, these problems start to fade.

    Please be aware of these scenario's and by all means advise accordingly, I can trust you guys to do us proud! And by all means pass on our number 01256 381190 for more information.

    All the best,

    Guy
